BURBANK, CA—Hinting that the gritty new animated feature would close the book on a “beloved friend,” a new Disney trailer on Monday teased the exit of a major character in the upcoming film Death At Pooh Corner. “Fans of the franchise should brace themselves, because Death At Pooh Corner might just be the last time they ever see one of their favorite characters in the Hundred Acre Wood,” said Disney spokesperson Sarah Freeborn, alluding to the preview’s opening shot showing Pooh jerking his head up after hearing a gunshot off in the distance and saying “Oh, bother.”

God, let it be Piglet.

  1. There’s a Pooh movie in development right now which was scripted by Alex Ross Perry (director of the excellent Queen of Earth) that he says was inspired by A.I. Artificial Intelligence. I really hope that happens and is good.

  2. “From the studio that made your grandparents lose their innocence with “Bambi”, and your parents lose their innocence with “The Lion King” comes the most devastating loss of all time…”

  3. BWA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!!

    Just a few months ago, a friend linked a clickbait article, and the first image had to be STRAIGHT out of “A Death at Pooh Corner!” Complete with PAD’s Piglet request! It’s a thing of beauty!

    So, here’s a magnificent illustration by a professional artist having fun with a children’s coloring book, spectacularly relevant to the topic at hand! (courtesy of BoredPanda.com)

      1. I think the artist was going for the “filthy, low-income housing, meth-addled psycho” vibe.

  4. Well, there *is* a movie coming out called GOODBYE CHRISTOPHER ROBIN…

    And when I read that Onion item, my first thought was, “This reminds me an awful lot of RIVERDALE.”

  6. You want Piglet to be the the victim, the murderer or to commit suicide?

    To me the most likely characters for each case are:

    Victim: Tie between Owl and Tiger

    Murderer:Rabbit

    Suicide: Eeyore
